How it relates to catalog intelligence
Akeneo is the system that stores and manages product data. Catalog intelligence is concerned with the quality and AI-readiness of that data — measuring completeness and consistency, then improving it. A PIM and a catalog intelligence layer are complementary parts of the product data stack. See what is catalog enrichment?
